Sun-blonde, clear gaze. Cassandre chose the simplest, rarest path: to be a free woman, fully in tune with herself, in a world where people often speak loudly. She doesn’t. She moves with crisp assurance and lets the places speak for her.
New Caledonia left a clear imprint: the smell of monoi mingled with the sea, sun-warmed skin, a benevolent calm that never needs to overdo it. In Bali, that feeling finds its material. Co-founder and Artistic Director at Aedes Property, she states her mission in one line: “Bring clients’ ideas to life by creating their made-to-measure cocoon.” Luxury, to her, isn’t a podium; it’s a way of inhabiting one’s life. “Luxury you live, not luxury you show.” Slow down, make time for yourself, live each moment fully: that’s the promise.
Her power also rests on a gentle discipline: a 60-second ritual before decisions that matter — powerful music, positive thoughts — and everything aligns. Shoulders drop, the voice settles, the decision comes clear. The gesture before the words.
Then comes what matters most. A mother of two, she keeps a non-negotiable boundary: evenings without distraction. No phone, no needless noise; just them, fully present. That’s where her idea of luxury shows its real strength: remove the clutter, make room for what’s true.
You find the same grammar in her projects: sensorial materials, clean lines, calming details. A cocoon isn’t a staging; it’s a feeling of rightness. And that’s likely where the power of beauty reveals itself: not by adding layers, but by returning to a natural rhythm — the one that lets you be both the woman who decides and the mother who embraces.
Beauty empowers when it brings the essential back to the center. For Cassandre, it comes down to three words: clarity, presence, gentleness. Everything else follows.
Oï is the gesture that accompanies this return to the essential — less noise, more truth.
